AEK Larnaca FC (Greek: Αθλητική Έvωση Κιτίου Λάρνακας, Athletiki Enosi Kitiou Larnakas, "Larnaca Kition Athletic Union") is a Cypriot professional football club, based in the port of Larnaca. Their home ground is the GSZ stadium. The club was formed in 1994 after a merger of two Larnaca clubs, EPA Larnaca and Pezoporikos. The club has also basketball sections for men AEK Larnaca B.C. and women Petrolina AEK and a volleyball section for women.

The colours of the club are yellow and green and their emblem is admiral Kimon, who died at the seafront defending the city of Kition (modern Larnaca) in a major battle in Cyprus at about 450 BC, in a fight against the Persians. He had told his officers to keep the news of his possible death secret. The quote "Και Νεκρος Ενικα" ("Even in death he was victorious") refers to Kimon.
